DFR by Channel Islands

Any reviews? Happy with the board? Or not so much? As much as I want a durable firewire with thick glassing, (my last board, a CI gravy is so beat up and has so much sun damage and I've only had it for 2 years). its also de-lammed from where my foot and knee falls short of the tail pad when duckdiving.

It says anything from like a powerful knee high to head, is this true?

i feel like that's going to depend HEAVILY on the rider's ability level. for dane reynolds? sure, of course. me? not so much. more like punchy stomach to a foot or so OH for the surfer of average ability.

True, I've been surfing for 2 1/2 years now and go almost every weekend and do ESA contests in the area. I'm not too good, worse than you I bet. The biggest I've surfed is overhead on me, and I'm 5'3'' and I use my log alot. So maybe this is the wrong board?

depends on what you want from it, i suppose. you've got a log, so it's not like it's going to be your only board to ride if the waves are small. you're also a lot lighter than i am.
